[OSENWORLD] LE SSERAFIM is back — and they’re serving up their most playful, addictive concept yet.
The group’s first single album SPAGHETTI, featuring j-hope of BTS, drops today (Oct. 24) at 1 p.m. KST.
Consisting of two tracks — the title song SPAGHETTI (feat. j-hope of BTS) and the fan-dedicated Pearlies (My Oyster Is the World) — the release marks LE SSERAFIM’s first comeback in seven months and showcases their signature mix of confidence, humor, and flair.
The title track captures the group’s high-voltage energy with sharp vocals and j-hope’s effortless flow, while Pearlies serves as a tender thank-you to fans. Members Sakura and Huh Yunjin took part in songwriting, giving the record a personal edge that blends boldness with playfulness.
In an interview shared through Source Music, the members reflected on the making of the single and their creative chemistry with j-hope.
“We’re so excited to finally make a comeback after seven months,” LE SSERAFIM said. “We worked hard on this single, and we really hope its fun and playful charm comes across.”
Explaining the album’s concept, the group added:
“There are times when you can’t stop reaching for something — even if you’re not sure you like it yet. SPAGHETTI captures that irresistible, addictive side of LE SSERAFIM. Like spaghetti stuck between your teeth, we wanted this album to keep lingering in listeners’ minds.”
Sakura described the track as “bright and fun,” adding, “We love performing with smiles on stage, and this song gives us the chance to do that.”
Kazuha called it “highly addictive,” saying she worked hard to embody its groove and rhythm, while Hong Eunchae said the gritty intro was “a fresh challenge that shows another side of us.”
Kim Chaewon pointed to the song’s instantly memorable lyrics:
“Lines like ‘chew it, bite it, taste it, enjoy it’ and ‘SSERAFIM stuck in your head’ are so direct that they make you want to sing along right away.”
When asked about the songwriting process, Huh Yunjin revealed a surprising source of inspiration.
“The idea first came to me after we won first place with HOT,” she said. “I thought, maybe we’ve finally gotten into people’s heads — like food stuck between their teeth,” she added, laughing. “That’s where SPAGHETTI started.”
The members praised j-hope’s feature as the final touch that elevated the track.
“He told us he loved the song and wanted to be part of it,” said Chaewon. “That gave us so much motivation.”
“Hearing his recorded version gave us chills,” Sakura added. “It made the entire song shine even brighter.”
Yunjin, who previously collaborated on j-hope’s album, said, “It was an honor to work with him again — this time with him adding the ‘kick’ to our song.”
During recording, Sakura recalled being praised by the producer for her expressive chorus delivery.
“It’s such a fun song that I couldn’t stop smiling through the session,” she said.
Eunchae added, “I tried to capture the humor in the line ‘Spaghetti stuck between my teeth’ — it’s cheeky but memorable.”
The members also shared the best moments to listen to the track.
“SPAGHETTI is the perfect song to boost confidence — when you need to nail something, just ‘eat it up!’” said Yunjin.
Kazuha recommended it for workouts, adding, “It’s so upbeat that we even play it while doing planks before dance practice.”
Beyond the main track, Pearlies (My Oyster Is the World) reflects their appreciation for FEARNOTs.
“It’s a thank-you song,” said Yunjin. “We wanted to express our gratitude to fans who have supported us through every step.”
When asked what’s currently “wrapped around” their minds, the members gave delightfully different answers — from Chaewon’s “FEARNOTs,” Sakura’s “working out,” Yunjin’s “bleached eyebrows,” and Kazuha’s “beef bone soup,” to Eunchae’s “iced Americano.”
Finally, LE SSERAFIM shared their hopes for this comeback:
“We want people to say, ‘It’s so LE SSERAFIM — but also something new.’ We challenged ourselves with this concept, and we hope everyone feels our growth.”
“To FEARNOTs,” they added, “thank you for being our source of energy. This single is for you — we hope it makes you proud and fills you with PIM pride.”
SPAGHETTI is now available on all major streaming platforms.
